Since many of our blog followers in the U.S. may be taking it easy today and enjoying Memorial Day with family and friends, I’m releasing this week’s new #MTSTPBlog song a bit earlier to give you more time to enjoy it during your day off.

This song is called “Little Things.”

“Maybe you think you have everything,Fame and fortune foreign cars, diamond rings…”

“If you don’t take care of your soul,All those little things won’t,Mean a thing…” – “Little Things” by Rise-Ascend

This week’s new #MTSTPBlog song is entitled “Fierce Winds Nor Sandstorms.”​This song follows our frequently recurring themes of determination, life journeys and the path to truth.

“Maybe you can’t see a foot ahead,Legs feel like they’re heavier than lead,Wind making it hard for you to tread,You can turn around,But you keep going instead…”“Don’t let the fierce winds stop you…” – “Fierce Winds Nor Sandstorms” by Rise-Ascend

In celebration of May 13, 2018, the 19th World Falun Dafa Day and the 26th anniversary of Falun Dafa’s public introduction, #MTSTPBlog - Music To Stop The Persecution would like to share with you a collection of beautiful images from around the world capturing some of this year’s celebrations.

This collection incorporates photos from Washington, D.C., New York City, Taiwan, Japan, New Zealand, Canada, Australia and more.

Below the images from this year’s celebration, you will also find a brief introduction video about Falun Gong (Falun Dafa).​Kind regards,Rise
